I now believe this to be Sigmoria nantahalae. I was recently in southern North Carolina and found the species. Checking Shelley 1981, the white-black-red color pattern is diagnostic for S. nantahalae, and it has been reported from Union County before. This species is already in the Guide, so I'll move it there.
